Working definition

Interoception is the ability to read the body’s signal before the behavior takes over: sensation, interpretation, thought, emotion, then action.

How it works

Most self-sabotage is treated too late. You tries to change the behavior after the chain has already fired.

Yann’s move is to bring attention earlier:

  1. What sensation appears in the body?
  2. What image or representation is attached to it?
  3. What thought follows?
  4. What emotion starts moving?
  5. What behavior becomes likely?

The goal is not to over-analyze every signal. The goal is to understand the chain in the places where the chain repeatedly limits your freedom.

Signature

The image is the injection phrase — image triggers sensation triggers behaviour — Yann on 2026-02-16: catch the body before the story hardens into identity.
